I always knew that it was Official Canadian Policy to assume that the US government didn't "work".
Ummm, sorry to give you the wrong idea. It is the thought behind Franks words that are at issue, not the words themselves. It's the Canadian way.
Kripes.
All I meant by "work" is, basically, ~exist~, more or less intact. I didn't say it worked well (maybe it does, maybe it did, I don't know), just that it worked. Unlike, say, the Russian Revolution, which devolved into a dictatorship, or the French Revolution, which ended up with Napoleon trying to take over Europe. Those didn't work.
The USA is still here, it has a President, Congress (two houses), a judiciary, and it's all held together by a Constitution (with amendments). It worked back then, it works now. I'm not saying it's a good thing, or a bad thing, that it's better now or worse.
Is this so damned subversive? <vbg>
cheers, frank
